This is an ideal start and much rewarding to yourself, I think. :-) Other than this, you can have a look at the bugzilla. We have hundreds of bugs: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=browse.html&product=GIMP Easier would be to check the "newcomer bugs" list (link on the right of the page), though I doubt this is a very complete list, so you should also search for other bugs. Easy bugs for a newcomers are: - crashes, because it allows to follow the stack trace at crash time with a debugger. - bugs which output warnings, because you can make warnings crash GIMP by running it with --gtk-g-fatal-warnings option. And then same as previous, use a debugger. - bugs with UI text, because you can grep the visible text to find where it is in the source files, and from there search for source of the issue. Also check the file `HACKING` in our repository. It gives some indication on compilation or the syntax we use in the GIMP project. And last but not least, any contributor is really encouraged to hang out on IRC (#gimp at irc.gimp.org). This is where you'll get some information faster, and also where you can pressure us a little to review your patches if we forget, or anything like this. :-) Jehan > By the way, I really love the new website! > > Have a nice day, > > -- > Kevin Pellet (/Ilphrin/) > ilphrin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > www.ilphrin.com > > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
